Looks pretty cool!
I wonder if the paste would clean this one up??
While I'm not a fan of that hyper-patina, yes, some NevrDull or ketchup should take it right off.

I'm sure it will come off... Seems like panerai has a lot of trouble with Venturing into different coatings and metals... I guess that's what happens when you come out with 30 models a year lately. Partial reason why I came back to Rolex.

Uhhhhhhh, Panerai knew the Bronze would heavily Patina. For most that is the great appeal of the watch.

So cool how you can age it well and then make it like
new without having to have a full polish....

I REALLY need to go to my AD and try on a 47 mm, I WANT BRONZO!

Just need to see if I can actually pull it off, thinking its REALLY REALLY pushing it.

Helson makes cheap bronzo's. Smaller too.

They are doing pre-orders on 42mm Subs Basically.

Helson just does not make me feel warm and fuzzy inside
like Panerai, Rolex etc....

I respect they made an inexpensive alternative but that just
doesn't work for me.

Well it has to be the 382 Bronzo of course! Not only the watch but the overall packaging that comes with the watch is what impress me so much. Panerai put in lots of effort to make this watch truly special.

My other bronze watches, I'll have to keep them secretly.
